Buhen fortress [1]
Fortress,
a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant chess engine by Alessandro Damiani, written in C, first released in October 1998 [2]. Fortress pioneered in Rotated Indices, a deconcentrated version of rotated bitboards. Alessandro once mentioned improving a version of Schrüfer's "most selective" quiescence search [3], found in Schrüfer's Ph.D. thesis Minimax-Suchen [4].
